Abstract: A segmented seal ring and spring system for steam turbines for minimizing leakage between rotating and stationary components, and preventing damage and wear thereto, including a segmented seal ring, with first springs biased against the seal segments to urge the segments radially outward toward a large clearance position of the seal ring with respect to the turbine shaft. The springs urge the seal segments into the large clearance position at low shaft speeds and small turbine loads, whereas at medium to high flows and high working pressure, working fluid will overcome the spring forces and urge the seal segments into a small clearance position. Special gravity springs are provided in the lower half seal ring segments with the lower end of such springs seated against the turbine casing while the upper spring end is biased against the seal segment to produce an upward force which neutralizes the downward force caused by the weight of the segment. The gravity spring provides a spring force in the vertical direction which is equal to the weight of the segment which it supports so that the fluid pressure forces required to close the lower seal segments is the same as the radially outward biasing spring force and the friction forces. The gravity springs, by reducing or eliminating the weight forces of the lower seal segments, avoids the friction and interference which might otherwise interfere with the radial inward movement of the segments to the small clearance position.

Located in the passageway is a diaphragm (18), one side of which defines a pumping chamber (20) and the other side of which defines a pressure control chamber (22). The diaphragm (18) is cyclically displaceable through a pumping stroke for pumping liquid through the outlet (14) and a drawing stroke for drawing liquid from the reservoir (12). Also located in the passageway (16) are a pair of valves (30, 33) which serve, during the drawing stroke, to cause the diaphragm (18) to draw liquid from the reservoir (12) into the pumping chamber (20), and during the pumping stroke, to cause the diaphragm (18) to pump liquid from the pumping chamber (20) through the outlet (14). An electrolytic cell (24) generates gas at suitable times for suitable durations and rates which is supplied to the pressure control chamber (22) to drive the pumping member (18) through the pumping stroke. A vent is used for venting the gas from the pressure control chamber (22) to the atmosphere to drive the pumping member (18) through the drawing stroke. The vent has an inlet vent opening (40) inside the pressure control chamber (22), with the opening (40) being caused to open to end the pumping stroke and to close after a portion of the gas has vented.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for joining overlapping aluminium parts forming a solder gap between them by soldering with a solder suitable for an Al/Al as the filler and a flux, in which first of all a quantity of filler and flux corresponding to the solder requirement is deposited near the visible start of the solder gap and then the aluminium parts are heated for long enough for the filler to melt and creep into the solder gap, whereupon heating is stopped. The feature of the process of the invention is that a region of the visible start of the solder gap and the deposited filler and flux is continuously and contactlessly monitored during heating and the heating adjusted as soon as a control pulse triggered by the sensor has recorded the melting of the filler or the flux.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method including means for the execution thereof, which can be used to determine the speed of a rail vehicle very precisely from the distance travelled. The output signals (JV1, JV2) of two electromagnetic rail contacts arranged on a rail at a predetermined distance from each other are recorded in digital form, and their time interval is used to calculate the speed. To obtain precise triggering times for time measurement, signal patterns (RJ1, RJ2) reproducing a wheel passage are each optimally approximated by calculation using parabolas (P1, P2), and the co-ordinates of the vertexes of the parabolas are used as the triggering times (tS1, tS2). To check whether both successive signal patterns should be associated with wheel passages, the cross-correlation coefficient between the signal pattern and the approximate parabola can be calculated, and compared with a characteristic set value.
